Can you imagine how cute they would be backstage at The X Factor?! Aww!

In an interview with The Daily Mail, the singer-turned-radio presenter opened up about family life and described how the two three-year-olds are "little friends".

He said: "Alaia's going to Eric's birthday party. They're little friends, they had a play date before and they hung out at the Capital Jingle Bell Ball, playing together in the little area. He's a little bit younger.

"Roch was working on The Xtra Factor so they would play together there."

He went on to say how his wife, Rochelle Humes, became friends with Simon's other half, Lauren: "Roch is friends with Lauren. I wouldn't say I'd call Simon up and have a chat with him but I know I could call him."

Could Marvin and Simon become the next high profile bromance? Could they become the new Brad Pitt and George Clooney?
